Club career

On 17 July 2021, Bolla joined Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers on a permanent deal from Hungarian side Fehérvár.[3] He was immediately loaned out to Grasshoppers of the Swiss Super League for the 2021–22 season.[3]

On 25 July 2021, he debuted in the Swiss Super League on the first match day of the 2021–22 season against FC Basel at the Stadion Letzigrund, Zürich. Bolla was substituted in the 71st minute by Nikola Gjorgjev.[4] On 31 July 2021, he played the entire match against BSC Young Boys at the Stadion Wankdorf, in Bern.[5] On 11 September 2021, he supplied his first assist, leading to the 1-1 equalizer by Christián Herc against FC Luzern. He shot his first goal on 26 September 2021 in a 3-1 victory over FC Sion, where he took a direct shot off of Herc's corner kick to hammer it under the bar. One week later, he scored again in a 5-2 victory over FC St. Gallen. He has since supplied two more assists and has become a mainstay in the starting lineup, usually playing on the right wing.

International career

On 1 June 2021, Bolla was included in the final 26-man squad to represent the Hungary national team at the rescheduled UEFA Euro 2020 tournament.[6] He debuted for Hungary in a friendly 1–0 win over Cyprus on 4 June 2021.[7]
